Caption this!

A great vintage photo of a woman feeding hundreds of chickens outside a large hen house...  I don't know that I would want to be standing where she is.  I wonder what she's thinking?  What do you think?

The back of this card is equally interesting:

Mailed to Mr & Mrs. Paule Krause in Wasuasau, WI in 1915.  The card says, (to the best of my ability to read the faded writing):
"My Dears- This is the poultry house about 1/3 of size showing + some poultry  These pictures was (sic) taken in Aug. I think we was (sic) not settled in the house at time yet.  Will write letter later. Lovingly David. (?)

Big Black Rooster & Little Brown Hen

A saucy little poem...
Says the Big Black Rooster to the lIttle Brown Hen,
"You Haven't Laid and Egg Since the Lord Knows When."
Says the Little Brown Hen to the Big Black Rooster
"You Don't Come Around as Oftern as You 'Us'd ter.'"

Not quite like one of Mother Goose's poems.  Watch out for that flirty hen on this charming illustration.
